Suggest Treatment For Vomiting, Dehydration And Nausea
my significant other is having stomach problems with a normal temourature. he has not eaten anything and is now vomitting bile every 5-10 mintues. Is there something at home we can do or over the counter medicine we can buy? Symptoms are nausea, vomiting, chills, dehydration, weak in ligaments, and diarreah

Hello,
Since he is nauseous & is vomiting you can give an antiemetic (Pepto-Bismol) but if he vomits that out, let him get an antiemetic (metoclopramide) injection to stop vomiting.
After that let him take ORS, soups without spice, oil or butter, juices to help balance Na-K in body & that will also make up for the dehydration & weakness that he is experiencing. You can give him semi-solid food in small amounts 4-5 times.
For bodyache give acetaminophen (Tylenol) one sos when required. Let him get physically examined in ER to rule out any enlargement in the liver. Let him have blood workouts done (CBC, Liver function tests, Urinalysis, USG if required). Further treatment will depend upon the evaluation & the degree of his illness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
